Due to challenges with social communication, some teens with  \nASD may have limited experience dating and could benefit from explicitly learning skills associated with successful and safe dating experiences. Teens with ASD may benefit from developing skills in the following areas: basic dating readiness skills, safety skills related to dating, and social skills related to dating. School staff and families both play important roles in supporting these skill areas.  \nBasic Dating Readiness Skills  \n• Identify the purpose of dating. Educators should spend time discussing what dating is. For example, dating is a shared experience between two people and it should involve someone who the teen likes and who likes them back.  \n• Establish a shared understanding of the dating process. Teens may need support in understanding a reasonable timeline for dating and how a dating relationship typically develops. For example, a dating relationship usually evolves over time, starting as acquaintances which may develop into a casual friendship over several months, and finally become a romantic relationship.  \n• Understand the differences between acquaintances, friendships and dating.  \nTeens should be able to demonstrate an understanding of expected behaviors indifferent relationships including how to behave with strangers, community members/ helpers, family, friends, and romantic partners.  \n• Demonstrate dating readiness. Teens with ASD also might benefit from discussing dating readiness including grooming habits, independent skills, and confidence.  \n• Be aware of, and develop a plan for, dealing with sensory sensitivities. Often, teens with ASD have hypo-or hyper-sensitivities to sensory information such as sound, smell, and touch.
